“Melbury has a fantastic view .”
We enjoyed sitting outside having breakfast and looking down over Salcombe. 15 minute walk to the harbour down a steep hill. Shame there weren’t more photos of the inside of the property as it was actually better equipped than we had anticipated. Ample space for a couple but would be a real squash to have a third person. Unfortunately the kitchen hadn’t been very well cleaned and there was a bad milk spillage in the fridge and the floor was still wet and slippery when we arrived . There is a bad smell of damp throughout the accommodation and by the end of the week our clothes were starting to feel rather damp.
That said, Melbury is a good base to explore Salcombe . We had a wonderful week walking the coast line and discovering unspoilt beaches along the way. Had a fantastic meal at the Crab Shed.
Communication from Sykes was poor. We had no idea of the address of the accommodation even up to the day of our arrival, and no idea where to collect the keys from! We spent a large part of our journey on the phone waiting to speak to someone at Sykes to try and find out this information. Once in Salcombe however, Coast and Country cottages, were very helpful .
Thank you for your feedback on your recent holiday. I’m sorry to hear that the cleanliness of the kitchen wasn’t quite up to standard; we will pass your comments onto the housekeeping team. Sunrise is built into the rock and as such can get a musty smell; however, the owners of the property have put in measures to reduce this as much as possible. I can see that the communications which contain the travel directions were sent to you in advance, but they can go straight into junk inboxes as they carry attachments, although please accept our apologies for the difficulties getting in contact with us. We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Salcombe and we hope to welcome you back to the area soon.
